$500-$1500 Student Science Education Outreach Grants !

The Duke Center for Science Education is offering grants ($500-1500) for student teams (undergraduate and/or graduate) to develop hands-on science activities for children in Grades 4-8. This year will have two themes:*The Five Senses and how they help us make sense of science, medicine, and everyday life. *The Science of Fitness, Physiology, Health & Nutrition, including bacteriology, human physiology (cardio, respiratory, energy), food chemistry & nutrition, and a sampling of molecular biology in everyday life. We are particularly interested in activities related to heart health/physiology or nutrition.Projects must relate to these topics in some way, but may be as diverse as the genetics of taste, the chemistry of making ice cream, making medicines from plants, using catapults to mimic batting and throwing, and more. Use your creativity to make science come alive! Applications can be found online at www.scied.duke.edu
